Forging A Puukko Knife

Hand forging a puukko style knife from 52100 steel. On this knife I am using a micro bevel, which provides greater edge strength while making a very keen, sharp edge.

This was the one!!

[@100zoty7]

very nice blade shape

[@brysonalden5414]

Next time someone asks me to recommend an example of good, clean forging I will recommend this video. Outstanding!

[@dungeonmetalworks4281]

I love the simplistic elegance😍

[@cals1775]

I love the handle! Even though the puukko is a relatively simple shape I can’t help but get excited when I see one that looks this good

[@Aleeknives]

I absolutely love the simplicity of the puukko! Don't confuse what I said, the puukko has a simple design but is not simple to make! However, you made it look easy! Good job bro

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks man, yeah the puukko speaks to my soul, haha

[@Aleeknives]

I have only made one so far but I was surprised at how versatile it was and will be making more for sure!

[@sidstone8845]

I don’t exactly understand the puke, is it just the structure or the handle shape and size? I thought it was one shape of blade but now I realize that the blades are different

[@Aleeknives]

A puukko is a traditional Finnish belt knife with a single curved cutting edge, a hidden tang and generally has a straight spine. Further, most puukko do not have a finger guard and have a scandi grind. Of course there are many interpretations of the puukko but this is the general description according to the interweb

lindo trabalho obrigado por compartilhar seu conteúdos like sempre sucesso

[@nicholaseedy3244]

What are you doing posting a video on Monday? Man you hammered out that shape like it was clay. Love your work. Hope to order soon.

[@FireCreekForge]

Trying to up my game, I guess.. No rest for the wicked, and the righteous don't need any...? Thanks for watching!

[@nicholaseedy3244]

That handle....almost got me in trouble with this one.

[@southerncross100]

👏👏

[@nateand3]

And yet another gorgeous piece of work from you. I don't think this one will split a hog, but it'll make him squeal....and probably bleed like a stuck hog. Lol love it man

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks man!

[@bradywolf492]

You should build a tire power hammer

[@ed.sol.crafts]

Great job dude! Crushed it like always! What steel did you use?

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks! This one is 52100

[@dankster990]

Stelter was making same finnish knife called puukko

[@FireCreekForge]

I saw that, it turned out nice

[@erikcourtney1834]

Does putting soap stone on the cutting edge make it easier to see the the width? That’s a great idea if so. I never seen that done.

[@FireCreekForge]

It helps to see the edge for straightening, especially in lower light conditions which our forges often are.

[@erikcourtney1834]

Fire Creek Forge I’m definitely going to try that on my next one. Thanks for the tip.

[@dwaynegibbs8371]

52100 steel. What size was the original bar?

[@FireCreekForge]

It's 3/4" round stock

[@giovybez8061]

That is a sexy little knife. Wish I had one.
